Nope, it's Shroomette, a totally original character I created. Please do not steal, I worked really hard in designing her.

Yeah though, she most definitely is based on Toadette. Even the name I use for her "Shroomette" does little to hide that fact. I've brought it up a few times, but I suppose I need to recall I should usually bring that up whenever I post her for the first time on a page.

I see, sorry I didn't have a whole lot of time to browse the page and see that, it was literally at a glance.

Hi! I love your stuff The splices are a bit varied in quality, by which I just mean that the ones with less C+P'd parts look amazing, and that just makes the ones that do have a lot of C+P'd parts look sub par, but I'm guessing those are slightly older ones, because you can clearly make fantastically blended designs, and great scratches!
Speaking of scratches, your region looks pretty good to me. At first I was disappointed with the designs, as I didn't think they looked very Pokemon-y. They actually remind me of some old ones of mine, which is not a compliment unfortunately <<; But then I realised you were going back through and redoing them, and I must say that every one of the re-dos that I've seen is a huge improvement. They are all generally better quality sprites, and definitely look a lot more Pokemon-y. And I like the concepts too They're not the kind of thing you usually see, but that's a good thing!
Also, the couple of animations I've seen skimming back through a couple of pages look fantastic! You're clearly spending a lot of time on them, and the time and effort is obvious. They're very smooth, and generally look great! You also have a good eye for detail, for instance, I wouldn't have noticed there was anything wrong with the axe blur, but it certainly looks a lot better now that you've changed it.

I'm sorry Cloneydew, I hadn't meant to sound harsh or critical of you. I was sincere when I said I should bring it up each time, that is on me. I do not expect the casual viewer to look at all the pages I have here, and it's up to me to inform about my stuff each time. Sorry if I came off as hostile or anything like that.

Thanks for the comments JammyU. Lots of years of practice here, and it's always nice to know some level of imrpovement is being made. A lot of it couldn't be done though without the critique I get at a lot of places. A lot of my animations are only as nice as they are thanks to others commenting on how they could be fixed =)

Now, I've got some more work done on the Black/White mage of the party, Ray.

First a very basic idea of what her spell casting animation will be like:

However, as I was planning this out, I got some useful critique on her general design. So the above is really just a basic idea. More frames will be needed of course. Below, I have her new base sprite that I will be working off of:

Ray is both a white mage and black mage. She specializes in single target spells. She is devoted to her religion. She is confident in battle, not being the type to hurt overs, but when she needs to, she can hold her own.

I know it's a while after this was said, but I have just noticed it and wanted to say that all is well, I understand what you mean! Your stuff is awesome, some really high quality stuff!

I'd say it's pretty unlikely I'm going to get to that any time soon. I haven't done splicing in a long while and have so many other projects to get to.

Well, I've gotten the gist of Vargas done now. A few detailing work needs to be done, but that can be for another time I'm thinking. However the frames and such should be good. I also have a flamey sword variant due to the request of the characters creator. Chances are, the flaming version will be for certain skills and not basic attacks, but who knows.

My usual spriting time was taken from me, and so many things have kept me busy (Oh Smash Bros, you're so wonderful). However with school, I actually have a few new oppurtunities to sprite thanks to a class being in a computer lab. So, here's a new member of the team, Professor Anouto!

A scientist who will act as a black mage, though instead of spells, he'll use his inventions. Flamethrowers, freeze rays, and typhoon missiles will be his way of attacking.

Edit:

A few small changes were made.

So I got the face, added the tail (that took far too long to get it to the point its at) and worked with some of the timing and leg positions. Still plenty of things to add, her flappy bits and shield primarily.

Well I got to some of the bits of critique. Faster, some work on hands, adding in the extra details, and some upped contrast. If this is good, then I have a form of battle animation for all the characters (alternate animations, like idles, or other kind of attacks, would be next then). Of course also tinkering with previous ones too.
